In 1942, without her husband&#8217;s knowledge, Katarzyna took Maksymilian Gross, the Heller family and David and Matilda Zuckerbrodt into her home. Catherine&#8217;s husband, upon discovering that there were Jews hiding under his roof, accepted her decision, having in mind the crime of burning Jews in one of the synagogues that he had witnessed in 1939.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Struggling with limited resources, the Szyfner family was determined to provide food for the hidden.\u00a0 Eugeniusz played a key role in the aid effort, obtaining food with difficulty and concealing grain. He also created hiding places for the Jews in the chicken coop and in the attic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the Second World War, the Szyfners&#8217; survivors started a new life, not forgetting their saviours. In 1996, Eugeniusz (died 18 March 2007) and Katarzyna (died 1978) were honoured with the title &#8220;Righteous Among the Nations&#8221;, and Eugeniusz also received the Commander&#8217;s Cross of the Order of Rebirth of Poland for his work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the Second World War in Chorzel\u00f3w, in today&#8217;s Podkarpackie Voivodeship, the Szyfner family showed extraordinary courage and humanism.\u00a0 Risking their own lives, they decided to help the Jews persecuted&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":59663,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.4 -
